LAW INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. DEATH OF MR, COMMISSIONER FANE. This morning information was received of the eomewbat sudden death of Mr. Commissioner Fane, which took place at Weymouth yesterday evening. The learned Commis sioner had been in a very feeble state of health for some months, but latterly he appeared to be improving. Mr Registrar Winslow, who has been acting as Commis sioner, announced the melancholy fact to the gentlemen of the bar and the profession, and, in doing so, evinces much emotion. He said that apart from other circumstances, he thought it would only be a proper mark of respect to the memory of the deceased gentleman to suspend the business of the court for the day. The oases of last examination and discharge would be adjourned till tomorrow. Mr lbzley, on behalf of the bar, expressed ruuch regret, and concurred with the course adopted by the learned Registrar in adjourning the court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This day. • BOW STREET. ►STEALING LEAD FROM THE SAVOY CHAPEL.—Three men, labourers in the employ of Mr Myers, the builder, were placed at the bar charged with stealing upwards of 3 cwt. of lead, and a man named Fincher, a marine-store dealer, residing in White Hart-yard, was charged with feloniously receiving the same, A youth, named Westwood, in the employ of Mr Rou mien, the architect, seeing the men carrying the lead away, told his master, and afterwards he watched and distinctly saw each of the men leave the churchyard with lead in his possession. Mt R. L. Roumien said ho was an architect, and his offices were at No. 4, Lancaster-place. Yesterday afternoon he was looking out of his office window, from which he had a clear view of the ruins of the old chapel, and he then saw the workmen who were employed in removing the lead from the top of the building, putting large pieces of it round their waists, going away with it, and then returning, after a short absence, to their work. He could not identify any of the prisoners. Mr John Pethybridge said he resided at No. 4, New Hampstead-road, and was a clerk to Mr Roumien. About 11 o'clock a man came into his master's offices and said that the men employed at the Savoy Chapel were taking away some lead. He then looked out of window, and saw Savage take some off the gutter, put it round his waist, and then go off the premises with it. About ten minutes after, he saw Savage and Ellis dividing some money. After that, about 4 o'clock, he saw Cook leave the premises with a basket covered with a red cloth. A police-constable was present in our offices, and ho then watched the prisoners, and found the lead was taken to the shop kept by Fincher, , in White Hart-street. In the earlier part of the day he had seen the two prisoners, Savage and Ellis, divid ing something which looked like money. The prisoner Ellis here declared it was tobacco he was giving Savage, and not money. Mr Roumien k aid he felt almost positive it was money that was divided, because the men kept moving their hands backwards and forwards as if engaged in counting it. Cook said lie should like to ask Mr Roumien if he saw him on the wall of the church. Mr Roumien replied he did not. Mr Vaughan told the prisoner witness had not said he _ _ Cook said the witness had said he saw three men taking away the lead, and himself and Cook and savage were the only persons e mployed on the premises. Charles Lane, office-keeper, said—About half-past nine yesterday morning his attention was called to the prisoner Cook hiding pieces of lead under the burnt wood lying in the churchyard. He saw he afterwards hid lead in those different places. One piece appeared to be about 81ba or 101bs. He (Cook) watched the foreman turn his back, and then he picked up the lead about 10 o'clock, and left the churchyard with it tied up in a red cloth. He told Mr. Roumien about the circumstances, and at four o'clock he saw him again leave the churchyard with lead in his pos • session. He had previous to this seen one of the men, he believed Ellis, throw some lead into the premises of Mr. Finney, which were destroyed at the fire but were now being rebuilt. The three prisoners have been engaged in clearing the ruins cf the church ever since last Tuesday week. Towards the close of the day, after some more lead had been taken away, he saw the prisoners in close con versation, and making signs, indicating, he supposed, that soma one was watching them. Inspector Avery, of the F division, said last evening he sent an officer to make some inquiries relative to some lead, and he went himself to the Savoy Churchyard and saw Ellis and Cook. While he was waiting he saw Savage return to the building with an empty basket, and on asking him where he had been, he said to get a glass of ale, He charged the men with stealing the lead. After taking the three men to the station-house, he went to the pri soner Finchet's: shop, No. 11, White Hatt-street, and asked him if he had recently bought some lead. Ho replied he had been buying lead all day long. He was asked to produce his book, which he did, and therein were two entries made on the 4th ; ono represented 1 cwt. 1 quart r i4lbs. to have been purchased, for which £1 Os. ld. was paid, and the other 2 cwt. 2 qrs. 141b5., for which he had paid £1 1 ls. 93, Mr Vaughan asked what was the name of the seller? Witness said it was put down as a Mr Brook, builder 6, Southampton-street, but he could find no such person. He (witness) asked to see the lead, when it was shown to him. He took the prisoner to the stction-house, and charged him with feloniously receiving stolen property, and left an officer in charge of the lead. In answer to questions, Pincher told him he had sold a traveller about 1 cwt. of lead, but he had no entry beyond that made on a piece of paper. Cross-examined—He had been to the prisoner Pincher's twice during the day, and on the first occaPion he told him he was charged with receiving the lead, knowing it to be stolen, He left the prisoner's shop the first time without leaving a constable in charge, but he was not absent more than 10 minutes. He never told Fincher that if he had no` received stolen property, at all events he was in the unlawful possession of it, and that he would get three months' im prisonment. The charge was not at first entered at the station as one of unlawful possession. The prisoner did did not say if you have any charge against me, take me at once to the station. Police-sergeant F 31 said he went to Lancaster-place, and from out of the second floor back window he had a view of the Savoy churchyard. He saw Cook carry away a basket covered with a piece of crimson cloth, which ap peared to have been a portion of some covering of the church. He returned in about 10 minutes, and then having entered conversation with the other two prisoners, they went into the church. He then went down and asked Cook if he had any business to carry away the lead, when he said he had. After he had taken the three prisoners to the station, he returned to the church, where he found a jacket belonging to Ellis, in the pockets of which were 13ib of lead. The general foreman in the employ of Mr Geo. Myers, builder, of Ordnance-wharf, Lambeth, said thelead, stolen from the Savoy Church was the property of his employers. He did not know the prisoners, but he knew they had no right to sell the lead. The property stolen in its present state was worth £ t 8 or £2O per ton. Henry Smith said he was foreman of the men employed for Messrs Myers. He knew the prisoners. They were engaged on the works for reetoring the Savoy Uhurch. All lead taken off the building ought to have been :taken to the store house. The three prisoners were the only persons engaged yesterday in the removal of the rubbish. Mr Lewis, for the prisoner Fincher, contended there was nothing to show he had been guilty of any irregularity. The whole of the prisoners were fully committed kr trial, but Fincher was admitted to bail in his own recog nisancea of £2OO and two sureties of £lOO each. WESTMINSTER. AN IMPUDENT THIEF.—A tall young fellow, who gave the name of Cornelius Donovan, was charged with steal ing a large roll of bad ticking from a tradesman's door. William Chapman, of 44, Rochester-row, said that at half-past 7 last evening he saw the prisoner loitering about in front of his father's house, and not liking his appear ance, watched him. He saw him after suddenly disap pearing for a moment, walking away from the direction of Mr Spanlow's, linen draper, with a large roll of something under his arm. Witness acquainted Mr Spanlow, and fol lowed the prisoner, crying " Stop thief 1" Prisoner, who ran very fast, when he found himself hotly pursued, threw down the roll of bed ticking and again darted off. A youth endeavoured to stop him, but he knocked him down and went on; others endeavoured to arrest him, but he escaped them, and being seized by a gen tleman, he endeavoured to shake him off, but failed, the gentleman although thrown down seizing him tightly. Prisoner—Let me ask him a question, your worship— 11;wifIhad this roll how did I get it ? Witness —From Mr Spanlow's door, I suppose. Prisoner—Did you see me take it from the door ? Witness—No, I did not; but I saw you carry it away. Prisoner—You didn't see anything. Mr Charles Spanlow, 43, Rochester-row, said that the roll was secured at his door and must have been cut away. He saw the prisoner running with it, and several persons attempted to stop him. Prisoner—Do you say people tried to stop me ? Witness—Yes, I de. Prisoner—Nobody tried to stop me; they knew I hadn't done anything, and why should they stop me. Prisoner was remanded. THAMES. CHARGE OF STABBING.—TWO SIDES TO A QUESTION.— John Thompson, a labourer, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with cutting and wounding Stephen Barry, a cooper. The presecut r, an Irishman, who appears to have acted very generously to th 9 prisoner, said he had no home, and he took him into his lodging and treated him well with the bite and the sup, because he was in distress. Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the prisoner came home and vio lently shoved open the door. He asked him why ho did it, to which the prisoner made no reply, but asked another question, " Have you any money." lie said to the prisoner, 4 , What has it to do with you whether I have or not." The prisoner then said, "I'll give you something very soon," and took a table knife off the table and stabbed him in the wrist of his right arm. Mr Paget—And you are compelled to keep your arm in a sling ? Barry—Yes, sir, and I cannot go to work. I tried to stop the prisoner, but he ran away. I followed him till I saw a constable, and then gave him into custody. Before he struck me with the knife he said he would do fur me. I offered him no provocation at all. Mr Howard Dilworth, surgeon, said he had examined the wounded man, who was bleeding from an incised wound which had cut through an artery on the right wrist. It was 3 inches long, and might have been inflicted with a table knife. It might prove a serious wound. The prisoner said there two sides to a question, and his version of the affair was this—" Well, your Worship," he continued, " I lodged with that young man. When I came home yesterday, he was at home before me. I asked him for the key of our room, and he made a laugh of it, and would not open it for me. I knocked in the door with my feet. Barry came to me and struck me on the mouth twice. We were both the worse for liquor, and he fbll. He cut himself with something. He kept running up and down stairs. He cut my mother, and he injured my eyes." Mr Paget committed the prisoner for trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PARISH PROSECUTION OF A BROTHEL KEEPER. — Anne Melville, a stylishly dressed female, was ohm ged be fore Mr Tyrwhitt on a warrant with keeping a brothel at 32, Oxendon-street, The prosecution was instituted by the authorities of St. Martin's parish, Mr Robinson, from the Vestry-clerk's office, attending for the prosecution, and Mr Abrams for the prisoner. Sergeant Appleton, 26 (.3, proved Melville, the prisoner, as the keeper of 32, Oxendon-street---a brothel. Mr Abrams said the house was shut up now. Mr Robinson sail the warrant contained the names of two persons, one of whom, named Williams, was tried at the sessions yesterday, and he had to ask that the prisoner might be sent to the sessions to be tried at once, a true bill being found against her. Mr Abrams objected to this, as the sessions would be over that day, and he had to ask that the usual bail might be taken, there being no, reason to suppose she would not sur render. _ _ Mr Robinson said ho had to ask that the usual bail might not be taken, as the prisoner had kept out of the way of the police. Sergeant Appleton said the prisoner had been keeping out of the way, and it was not till yesterday that he ascertained her whereabouts. Mr Abrams said he was glad to see the authorities of St. ➢iartin's were acting with something like firmness, and not selecting the smaller houses, and allowing the women of the larger ones to escape. _ _ _ Mr Tyrwhitt said he thought the usual bail would do, and committed the prisoner to the next sessions, fixing the bail at £BO for the prisoner, and two sureties of £4O each. fiIAIIKETS---Tids Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The produce was re• ceived in good condition ; nevertheless, the trade for all qualities ruled inactive, at Monday's currencies. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. The market was fairly supplied with barley. Good and fine malting qualities moved off slowly, at previous quota tions; otherwise, the trad e was d u l l. The malt trade was very dull, at fully the late declin e in prices. The supply of oats on sale was large. In most descrip tions a good business was transacted, at Monday's currency. Beans met a slow sale, at late rates. For peas the trade was quiet, on former terms. The demand for flour was by no means active, at pre vious quotations. ARRIVALS 'MS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

Last even ing the lifeboat of the National Institutian went out with the view of rendering assist ance t o th e schooner Victoria, of this port, which was found i n a per ilous position, with the sea running fearfully heavy, off this place. The lifeboat remained by the vessel, and the crew afterwards boarded the schooner and assisted in pumping her out, and in bring ing her to the harbour in safety. HEAVY GALE ON THE WELSH COAST.—Porth cawl, Tuesday.—A terrific easterly gale, says Captain Buchan, R.N., has been blowing since 10 a.m. on Sunday, with but slight intermission. We are making a floating dock, &c., but last night our navvies could' not work, all their fires, lamps, &c., being blown out. I fear we shall hear of much damage amongst the poor shipping, worse even than exploding gunpowder works, and truly that was aw ful enough.

THE ENGLISH PRINCE OF BOOKBINDERS.—The obituary of November 20, 17 orq --, records :—" In Duke-street, St Martin's, died Mr Roger Payne, the cele brated bookbinder, whose death was a last regret to the founders of magnificent libraries. This ingenious man introduced a style of binding, uniting elegance with durability, such as no person has ever been able to imi tate. He may be ranked, indeed, among artists of the greatest merit. The ornaments he employed were chosen with a classical taste, end in many instances appropriated to the subject of the work , o r the a g e an d time of the author, and each book was accompa nied b y a written description of the ornaments in a most p recise an d curious style. His chef d'ceuvre is his 44 .2E , ebylus , " in the possession of Earl Spencer, the ornaments and decorations of which are most splendid and classical. The binding of the book cost the noble earl 15 guineas. Those who are not accustomed to seo book binding executed in any other than the eoromon manner, can have no idea of the merits of the deceased, who lived without a rival, and we fear, has died without a successor. his re• mains were decently interred in the burying-ground of St. Martin's in the Fielde , at the expense of a respectable and upright bookseller resident in that parish, to whom, in a great measure, the admirers of this ingenious man's per formances may feel themselves indebted for the prolonga tion of his life, having for the last 8 years (with that good ness of heart for which his family is distinguished) provided him with a regular pecuniary assistance for the support of his body and the performance of his work. What adds to the credit of this is,that this poor man had not a proper command of himself ; for, formerly when in possession of a few pounds, he would live jovially, when that was exhausted, almost famishing. It may be proper to remark that, although his name was spelt exactly as his patron's, he was not related to him." Thus modestly has his biographer informed us of the name of the famous and truly benevolent bookseller, who for many years supported, and when dead, so respect ably interred him, Ile was his namisaite, although in no way related to him, — City Press, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, GALASHIELS AND PEEBLES. A portion of this line between Innerleithen and Peebles was opened for traffic on Saturday. A large number of persons assembled at the Innerltithen station to see the first train start at 750 a.m., which was loudly cheered. During the day the departure and arrival of trains were watched with great interest by the people, the plaee having hitherto been very badly accommodated with the means of travelling. There were four trains each way, and each train included accommodation for t hird•class passengers. GREAT EASTERN. This company is proceeding with surveys for a _ _ _ _ ._ line through Lincolnshire to the Yorkshire coalfields. An unsuccessful application with this object wag made to Parliament last session. INVERNESS AND ABERDEEN JUNCTION. The extension of this company's line from Meikle ferry to Bonar.bridge, a distance of 1l miles, was opened for public, traffic on Saturday. This com pletes the extension from lnvergordon to Boner bridge. The company's double line between Inver ness and Dalcross was also opened on Saturday for ptiNic traffic. MADRAS. The opening of this company's Mysore branch to Bangalore for public traffic took place, as proposed, on the Ist of August last, amid much festivity and rejoicing among the European and native com munity. The capital of Mysore and chief military station of the south of India is thus brought within ten hours' journey of Madras. The traveller can breakfast at Madras and dine at Bangalore, 216 miles off, nearly in the centre of the peninsula, at an elevation of 3,000 feet above the sea, and in one of the most agreeable and salubrious of Indian climates. This great height, moreover, is attained so gradually. by the skilful advantage which Las been taken of the natural features of the country, that the gradient of the line at no point exceeds 1 in 75, and then only for a very short distance. The length of the branch from Jallarpet, where it leaves the south-west line of the Madras Railway, to Bangalore, is 84 miles, and, with the exception of the nine miles in which it finally rises to the Mysore table land, the gradients throughout are easy, snd the works comparatively light. From the general cheapness of its construction and its prospects of traffic, which will also pass over the main line for a greater or less distance, the completion of this branch is as much a matter of congratulation to the shareholders of the com pany as to the communities of Madras and Mysore. Its importance in a political and military point of view is considerable. The opening of a further extension of about 40 miles of the company's North west line towards Caddapa, was expected to take place in the course of last month. This section embraces the Balapillay Pass, which is the heaviest work on the line, and has hitherto been a great ob struction to obtaining the Caddapa traffic for the railway. North America and West India Station. Our Portsmouth cortespendent has received the follow ing interesting statement of the doings at the above station, from on board H.M.S. Liverpool, Capt. Rowley Lambert, then lying at the mouth of the Rio Grande River. The writer says : Probably you have heard that on our late cruise round the Island of San Domingo we unfortunately touched some unknown rocks, which are not marked on any of the Admiralty charts. Fortunately for us we were going at the rate of about nine knots an hour, otherwise I feel con fident that we should have remained on the rocks, and very likely not got off again. There was a good lump' of a sea on at the time, so we rode over. This occurred on the north side of the island, about half an hour after we left the anchorage at Monte Christi, consequently we'were about five miles from land. On our arrival at Port Royal, Jemaica, we had the bottom of the ship examined by a diver, who reported that he found the bottom in a very ragged state, and about Nit of the keel gone. As there is no dock accommodation in any part of the station, the commo dore thought the condition of the ship was such as to render it necessary to send her home for repairs, so he forwarded a despatch to the commander in chief, who was then a Halifax, stating how matters stood. We anxiously awaited an answer before we left Jamaica, as we were ordered to relieve the Shannon (at Rio Grande River), ac cording to admiral's order. Not getting a reply in time the commodore did not feel himself justified in remaining at Jamaica until the next mail, sow e left for here. We have no regular communication with Jamaica ; the only way we can receive news from that island is by the commodore sending a gunboat, the distance being 1,100 ,miles. By chance we may receive letters by the Liverpool steamer, which comes round the coast once a month, to pick up what merchandise she can, and should she be coming to Vera Cruz, we shall receive news. The Rinaldo and Virago are here, under our orders. The former ship leaves for Vera Cruz, with the mail, taking 40,000 dole. on freight, I suppose for England, per mail steamer. The Virago, I hear, had about 50 of her ship's company on the doctor's list somothort time since, the malady being a kind of low fever. lam glad to state that all recovered. The Rinaido is a very happy and comfortable ship. As to the Liverpool she is particularly clean and very healthy. We had one ease of small-pox on board, but that was in a mild form, and the patient soon got quite well. We may congratulate ourselves that with a complement of 650 men we are so healthy. I will now endeavour to describe to you the state of affairs here. The Rio Grande, as we all know, divides Mexico from Texas; the latter place the Federa troops have been in possession of for some considerable time. At present, I believe, there are about 10,00) of them encamped within sight of our ship, at a place called Brasos, but I hear they will shortly evacuate Texas alto gether. The Confederates, in force, are encamped about three miles off. Very often the outposts are seen skir mishing, and the other day the Confederates took some of the Federal cavalry prisoners. We very often see great excitement amongst them in the camp through our glasses. There are a great number of ships of all nations waiting here for cargoes of cotton, Some have been here no lose than seven months, expecting a cargo. I should inform you that all the cotton is transmitted from the Federal States, across the river into Mexico (Matamoros), and all the merchant vessels are anchored on the Mexican side of the river, so that the Federal cruiser dare not interfere, as they did before a British man of war was stationed here, The way the cotton is got off is by bar boats from agents, no doubt employed on the Mexican side, who receive the same from the Confederate States. The French frigate Bellone, bearing the French admiral's flag, arrived here yesterday, as did also a very large paddle wheel steamer and a large troop ship. In all we have a small fleet here, consisting of four French ships. This part of Mexico not being effectively subdued the French admiral has landed 400 troops, in order to take possession of the place. We hear the French are going to blockade the Mexican coast, and that the Fedorals are going to blockade the Texas side of the river. so that when that takes place I cannot con ceive what good we shall be here, or the numerous merchant ships either. I should say that there are not less than 100 vessels here of various sizes. I believe the Confederates are only waiting for gu ns and supplies to attack the Federals at Brasos. Probably we shall see something of the attack. The French ships aro supplied with steam launches, which must be very convenient for towing boats in landing troops. I assure you that the 400 troops were landed in less than two hours. We should state that while the Liverpool was expecting news as to her destination the Phaeton received orders to relieve her, and she is now on her way to Plymouth." Mgr. Devoncoux, Bishop of Evrenx, returned to his episcopal residence on Saturday after six months absence caused by severe illness. The reverend prelate is still weak, and will leave Evreux in a few days for the south of Francs, a warmer climate being necessary for the re establishment of his health. THE GREAT NAPOLEON.—It was my luck yes terday to see an interesting relic which an English gentleman with great difficulty has rescued from Red Re publicanism, and is about to deliver over to the hands of the " rightful heir." It is only a sketch. But what a sketch, and what a history is attached to it I Nay, what a page of modern history it illustrates I Just as the greatest man of that age, worn out by the effects of an imprison ment, which would in these days fatally condemn the judges who pronounced sentence, was expiring, more of inaction than illness, and, perhaps, more of remembrance than either, for— " Nessun maggior dolore Che ricordarsi del tempo felice, nella miseria"— Lieutenant Frederic Marryat, of the Newcastle, landed at St. Helena. He was very anxious, as I have often heard him to say, to see Buonaparte. When he reached Long wood, disease and anxiety had already sent that glorious intellect "to aspire to the sky." Sir Hudson Lowe allowed Marryat to take a sketch of the corpse " Before Decay's effacing fingers Had swept the line where Beauty lingers ;" and he has left a profile, soft as woman, calm as sleep, and yet a likeness of the sternest and most determined man who ever galloped over a field of carnage. Such is the " family picture" about to be offered to the Emperor of the French. Lieutenant Marryat was the Captain Marryat at whose novels we have all laughed, and at whose table I dare say many of us have dined,—Dris LOW, The Windsor Tragedy. WINDSOR, Tuesday. Last night, at 10 o'clock, the eldest daughter of the mur derer, John Richard Cook, was still alive. But faint hopes of her recovery are, however, entertained by her medical. attendant. At present she is only kept alive by the injec tion of nourishing stimulants, brandy, &c., and the poor child lies in the humble bedroom of her father's cottage, at Old Windsor, moaning piteously. The policeman, George Lovell, 26, of the Berke Constabulary, who discovered the murder, states that on sending out into the village for the assistance of a woman to tend the suffering girl, none of the neighbours would give their services. He was then forced to send to the union, whence one of the aged inmates was sent to wait upon the sufferer. The cottage of Cook, a small four-roomed building, with white-washed front, surrcunded by a small garden, bounded by a low hedge, with the flower beds trampled and flattened by the feet of the children, is a perfect house of death, and few would expect to find such a scene of horror in such a quiet and innocent looking village as Old Windsor, The scene in the little front parlour is heart-rending. There, on a bed made upon the floor, lie three interesting little girls in their death slumber undressed—with the exception of the youngest, who is clothed in a little dark frock and white pinafore. They are lying side by side in a row, with countenances almost placid, and one might almost fancy they are sleeping, and it is not till the bed clothes are removed from the upper portions of their bodies that the hideous and violent nature of their death becomes apparent. In their dying agony the children would seem to have turned upon their right sides, while their mouths and necks, as in the case of the elder girl, were scorched and blackened with the vitriol. The girl who was found with her throat cut, lying beside her father, and conveyed to the Windsor Infirmary, is, Dr. Pear thinks, improving, and her life will probably be saved. She is under the care of the infirmary surg eon. This day at noon Drs. Pearl and Gooch, of Windsor, proceeded to the cottage of Cook for the purpose of making a post. mortem examination of the body of the eldest of the three girls who were poisoned. Tho examination lasted several hours, and after a very minute inspection no traces of the poison could be found. The contents of the stomach have been preserved from the purpose of analyeation should the coroner so direct. At the first cursory in spection, and till the post-mortem examination of to-day, it was thought that as the eldest girl, who is still alive, was poisoned with vitriol, the three younger had met their deaths from a similar poison, as the symptoms in all the oases appeared similar, The examination of to-day has, however, altered the opinion of the medical men, who now think that the three younger children may possibly have been poisoned with laudanum, three empty bottles smelling strongly of this poison having since been disco vered—or some other narcotic; the precise nature of the deadly agent used in carrying out the murderer's intention will only be ascertained on the analysis of the stomach of the deceased child. In the meantime the eldest girl is yet living, though suffering frightfully from the poison she has imbibed, end her case was spoken more favourably of by the medical at tendants. The girl who was found with her throat cut and who was removed to the Windsor Infirmary, is under the care of Mr Bricknell, the surgeon, and is going on as favourably as can be expected. The premises are now in charge of the Berks constabu lary till the inquezt. The gentry in the neighbourhood of Old Windsor have been very kind in their attention to the girl who was poi soned, and many little comforts, such as ices, grapes, have been sent by Mrs Lovibond and Miss Thackeray, ladies residing in the district. Two letters have been found, one directed to the vicar end the other to the brother, written by the murderer Cook, which will no doubt reveal the trio • tives for the commission of this dreadful murder. Numbers of people, actuated by a morbid feeling of curiosity, have visited the premises. . Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, The market opens with a steady feeling. Saks probably 5,000 bales. SUDDEN DEATH OF A BARRISTER.—Mr Charles Winston, special pleader, of the Home Circuit, died suddenly on Monday afternoon at his chambers, 3, Harcourt buildings, Temple. The deceased gentleman had been stay ing in the country for a slint time with his family, and only arrived in London on Monday morning for the purpose of arranging some of his accounts, his intention being to retuin by the 4 o'clock train. His clerk was sent into the City to get a cheque cashed, and on his return he found his master lying on the floor apparently dead. He at once called in the assistance of Mr Broome, gardener of the Temple, and Mr Brooks, of Fleet-street, who was of opinion that life had been extinct nearly three quarters of an tour. The de- ceased appeared to be in excellent health, and the cause o death is supposed to be disease of the heart. The it ques was held at the chambers of the unfortunate gentlemen yesterday, before Mr Sergeant Payne, coroner for the City of London. Sir J. Reid, Bart., accompanied by the solicitor of the deceased, was present during the inquiry. It ap peared that deceased, who was 49 years of age, had been deputy judge of the county courts of South Staff ,rdshire, North Wales, Brentford, Marylebone, and sometimes Westminster, which he carried on beyond his practice. He was, moreover, an excellent chemist, and devoted much of his time to scientific researches. Mr T. Brooks, of 165, Fleet-street, surgeon, said he had not made a post-mort.en examination of the body, but he believed that death was the result of disease of the heart, produced by overwork and long abstinence from food. He found a bottle of colchicum in the room. A gentleman said that the deceased had been taking colchicum for the last nine or twelve years for a pain in the beck. It was a mixture made up from a prescription by Dr Crofts. The deceased took a few drops at a Bose. Mr Brooks said it was a very improper remedy. An overdose of colchicum would affect the constitution firstly by irrita tion, secondly by diarrLoer, and lastly by exhaustion. Sir John Reid, who appeared much affected, said deceased was his nephew. He was sure he was overworked. He was al ways working, and neglected to take his proper meals. He had dined with him on Sat - arday last, and he saw him again on Sunday, when he appeared in his usual health. Sir John, however, knew that deceased laboured under some internal affection. The coroner then summed np on the above evi dence, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. How THEY MAKE PERFUMES.—M. Mero drives us to his laboratory, and with the perspicuity of a Frenchman —co qui n'est pas clair n'e:t pas Francais—ex plains to us the art and mystery of extracting odours from flowers. Thus illuminated, we can smile with bland supe riority on the popular notion (which we entirely forget that we ever entertained) respecting the process. We nuw know that distillation is not the only, not even the usual process; but in the great majority of cases the cd )urs are isolated by two methods, that of maceration and enflawering (enfi:urage). It is thus that orange, tuberose, acacia, violet. jasmine, rose, jonquil, and others are treated ; and these processes depend on a fact unknown in this country, at least unpublished, until Mr Septimus Piesse brought out his work, " Tho Art of Perfumery." We allude to the property which pure oil, butter, grease, and fat have of absorbing the fragrant principle from flowers in contact with them. Fats absorb odours, as a sponge absorbs water. If the fat thus impregnated be placed in pure alcohol, or any other spirit, the fragrant principle quits the fat, and we have then the scented spirit which perfumers sell. Such being the principle, let us now learn the process. The grease —beef, suet, or lard—is bought, and purified from all ani mal fibre and sanguineous matters by long boiling in water and nitre. When cold it is again boiled in rose water, to which a minute quantity of benzoin gum has been added. It is now allowed to cool and solidify, and it is then fit for use. Large quantities of grease are thus prepared during the periods when the flowers are out of season. Tha grease is enflowered on a frame, very similar to a window sash, the woodwork being two inches thick, with the glass in the centre, so that when two or more frames are laid together there is space sufficient for the flowers between the glasses. The glass has a layer of pure fat spread over it, each glass requiring about a pound of fat. On this the freshly-gathered flowers are sprinkled, and as there are several hundred frames at work for each kind, the quantity of perfumed grease prepared at once is enormous. When the flowers are spread on the grease each frame is piled on another till they amount to 40 or 50. There they remain from 24 to 36 hours ; then the old or spent blossoms are removed, and fresh flowers placed upon the grease ; and this is repeated until the fat is sufficiently impregnated, when it is scraped off the glass, melted at a low heat, and strained to remove stray petals. It is finally poured into the canisters for preservation and exportation.—Cornhill Magazine. The journals of Vienna state that three nights ago a thief got into the house occupied by Lord Bloomfield, the English Ambassador, situated at Wiedlin gen, near that city, and concealed himself until every one was in bed. About three in the morning Lady Bloomfield was awoke by the closing of a door. An alarm was given, and the servant soon found that his lordship's study had been entered, and a signet ring bearing his arms, two other rings ornamented with brilliants, a valuable gold watch, a silver casket, and bank notes to the amount of from 300 to 400 florins, carried off. A number of English bank notes were left untouched. There was also found in the kitchen the remains of some partridges with which the thief had re galed himself. On following the traces of the thief in the garden through which he had left the pi eraises, several ob jects stolen were found amongst the shrubs. An inquiry has been instituted by the police. THE COST OF CAEROWYN. By Mary Howitt. 3 vols.—" This tale is one of unabated interest. Written to show, which it does most completely, that ill-gotten possessions do not bring happiness in the long run even in this world ; it incidentally introduces us to some of the happiest descriptions of Welsh life and manners that we have ever come across.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A POSTMAN.— During the past week much concern has been manifested by many persons respecting the fate of the Challock postman, an elderly man named Sutton, residing in Regent's-place, Ashford. It is said that Sutton was drinking at a public house at Challock on Saturday, and that he took part in a disturbance amongst a number of hop-pickers. It is sur mised that he has committed suicide ; but although the police have searched the country for him, and the river Stour, the lake at Eastwell, and several woods have been examined, it is not yet known whether he has hung or drowned himself, for no traces of him can be found.--.Maid stone Journal. ANOTHER PHASE IN THE COMFOSITION DEED QUESTION. —Yesterday, at the Judges' Chambers, the case of Mr Johnson, which had been before the Lord Chancellor and reported, was spec'ally brought before Mr Justice Shee. The case involves the question whether a debtor could be discharged on a deed executed after the imprisonment, and on which question numerous other cases were pending. Mr Cattlin appeared in support of the application, in the case of "Nixon v. Johnson," and informed his lordship that the case had been heard on appeal before the Lord Chancellor, who expressed an opinion that he had no jurisdiction to in ' terfere, sitting in bankruptcy, but that it was a case tor a common law judge. Mr Justice Shoe inquired whether the application was opposed. Mr Cattlin said it was not, he was happy to say. The gentleman for whom he appeared had been five months in prison. The attorney on the other side informed his lordship that he had no objection to the application. Mr Justice Shoe made an order f or th e dis charge to the action. This, it Is understood, is the first successful application on a deed executed after the arrest. EXTRAORDINARY LEAF OF A FOAL.—Last week a colt foal, five months old, the property of a gentle• man in Lincolnshire, was sent by the Great Northern Rail way to London, when as the train was passing the Ponton station, at a somewhat reduced rate, the youngster was seen by a person on the railway to leap through the aperture or window, which is above the heads of the horses is the boxes. On alighting it rolled down an embankment which the train was passing over at the time. The person who saw the foal jump out went to see what had happened to it, and found it quietly grazing, not having received the slightest injury, and with scarcely a hair ruffled,— Sp a ting Gazett.l.
